QC trader’s daughter found dead in Cainta

CAINTA, Rizal — A daughter of a Quezon City businessman was found dead yesterday inside her family residence at Vista Verde subdivision here. Local police are now hunting down the husband of Renevee Grajeda, 25, who disappeared hours before the discovery of the body of the victim inside their room at 7:45 a.m. The identity of the husband was kept secret pending his arrest.

Grajeda was the daughter of a Galas, Quezon City-based businessman and had a daughter with her husband.

Police said Grajeda was last seen alive Sunday in the company of her husband.

The couple’s housemaid discovered the victim’s body when she forced herself inside the room after Grajeda failed to answer repeated knockings on the door. Grajeda was already dead by then. Police probers found a belt near the bed, which they believed to have been used by the suspect in strangling Grajeda, who has welt marks on her neck.

The local police refused to release details of the incident to the media for fear of jeopardizing ongoing follow-up operations.

Meanwhile, the Rizal police Criminal Investigation and Detection Division (CIDG) under Superintendent James Brilliantes has joined the probe on Grajeda’s mysterious death.
